FrieslandCampina Ingredients on casein protein’s unmet potential in active nutrition
12 Sep 2025 | FrieslandCampina Ingredients
Whey is the main protein used in sports nutrition, but FrieslandCampina Ingredients says that casein protein is an “unsung hero” in this space. We meet with Vicky Davies, global senior marketing director in Performance, Active & Medical Nutrition, who highlights casein’s potential in active nutrition. She says casein is higher in some essential amino acids than whey and has a better texture for indulgent snacks. Davies also points to research supporting casein’s benefits for overnight muscle health recovery when consumed pre-sleep.
